Hyderabad: Television actor Pearl V Puri has taken to social media to break his silence about the alleged rape accusations against him. Earlier this month, Pearl was arrested after being accused of raping a minor girl on the sets of a TV show in 2019.
"Life has its own way of testing people! I lost my Nani ma a few months back, then on her 17th day, I lost my dad, post that my mother got diagnosed with cancer and then this ghastly accusation. The last couple of weeks were gruelling for me like a nightmare. I was, overnight, made to feel like a criminal," he wrote.
"All of this in the midst of my mother's cancer treatment, shattered my sense of security, making me feel helpless," he added.
